Hazephase's Led Organic No-till Grow Journal - 2017

[HazePhase]

Okay so I topped 3 plants this morning before leaving for work. (I made sure to sterilize before making the cut)
Then I went in about an hour ago when they woke up and also super cropped one of them (by pinching the stem till it bends - hope i did that right)

Pictures are attached but please leave me your feedback as I am learning every day and I am trying new things to compare and learn.
This has been such an exciting ride and its just begun :)

Please leave me your feedback advice etc..
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!

I didn't even know that you could change the front LOL
good to know - hope this is better :)

 

[HazePhase]

Picture update - still slowly in growing since I topped them 2 days ago but looking nice!
I don't know much but how do they look?
Look really nice to me but I am biased LOL

Also I have lowered my light from 3 feet away to 2 feet away :)
Thanks Folks!!

Looking good! Green and Lushes! What are you building you're soil with?

I made my Soil from Clackimus Coots formula which you can see on page 1 of this journal.
I've watered with coconut water once - ewc+molasses+aloe water once.

Awh! I see now. I confused the g with grams, so I figured it was just what you threw in the cups. Are you familiar with the issues with Perlite in long term no till soil?
The coconut water seems like a great idea with it having tons of minerals and sugars. Im just beginning my no till setup also and will have to throw some in the initial innoculation tea!

People mentioned the perlite issue.
Usually on you're 3-4 grow but you can combat it and fix it at that point.

I'll probably do 3-4 grows like this but I also want to try the other ways to grow such as hydroponics - RDWC and aeroponics - however after seeing what no-till can do for results from others it may be hard to try other ways lol

That's not too bad actually...Figured it would be more immediate...If you decide to ammend it, you can "rock" with pumice or growstones. The poreation of the grow stones is redicolous and they claim it doesn't float. Threw a bit in my mix to see if that holds true...
The once a month teas and end of cycle top dressing is pretty appealing in comparison to other methods! Although, aeroponics seems interesting and offers pretty vigorous growth from what I remember. Could be a viable method to add into the mix
Happy gardening anyway! Can't wait to see your results!

Quick Picture Update:

I was watering every 4-5 days and I watered the girls yesterday around Supper time and soil looks like it's drying on the top faster which is good

Looks like I might start watering just a bit every 2-3 days and switching up between:
Day 1: Water
Day 2: Coconut water
Day 3: Tea (EWC/Molasses/yeast/kelp/aloe water)
Day 4: Water
Day 5: Barley SST
Day 6: Water
Day 7: Aloe Water
Day 8: Repeat

Open to advice

Girls are starting to recoup from topping and pick up their speed again

ONE WEIRD THING:
- I have had one plant who shed seed last and has been behind.
- Has mutated leaf so extra leaf as you can see in some picts
- New Growth is missing a leaf or half a leaf
- Shorter than rest.

Does anyone know why this would be as I bought DNA Genetics which is supposed to top Genetics.

Thx Everyone and HAPPY EASTER!!!

The above post didn't upload the other day so i just posted it now --- this is the post from today:

Looks like the shock is over and the girls are picking up speed and growing again :)
Thought I would share a picture of each and the temp/humidity levels.

There is one plant that seems to be having trouble,not growing height wise but still have great growth just different size leafs or missing a leaf etc.... also has a leaf with extra leaflet lol

Either way the room is starting to smell nice and the plants seem to be drinking a lot more.
Was watering every 4-5 days and watered 2 nights ago and may have to water tonight.

Thanks Everyone for Following :)

The girls received a nice drink of Aloe Water tonight.
I am now using Citric Acid and letting my tap water sit (soon bubble) for 24 hours before using it.
My PH was 9.1 and I adjusted it to 7.0

Also due to peak season for hydro i was doing 16/8 for light on/off but I am starting tomorrow morning to switch to 18/6 which means they will get an extra 2 hours of light per day for the next 30 days!
Also another great bonus is my missing array should be arriving tomorrow so adding 33% extra light going forward.

Here are some quick pictures and have a wonderful day!

 

[HazePhase]

HAPPY 420 Everyone!!!
Also my repaired array came in so now I have my full light in my tent --- finally after 3 weeks of waiting!!!!!

I watered them tonight and I am going to brew some ewc/molasses/yeast/kelp/barely sst with water so I can water them on Sunday and my additional soil which is cooking and waiting for when i transplant in a week or so.

Here are some pictures.
Have a great one everyone!!!

Hello Folks,

It’s been awhile as I have been quite busy with work and trying to order and setup my Veg Tent and light.
Good News - My vent set up has arrived (minus 4 x T5 bulbs which stayed on the truck while I collected someone else’s package…. sucks to be us lol —- good thing is I have 2 lights and currently only need to use one)

Veg SetUp:

• 
  
  
  • 3.3 x 3.3 x 6.5 - Mars Hydro Veg Tent
  • 4” Fan and Carbon Filter + timer controller and ducting
  • (2) - 4Bulb 2ft Fixtures to ensure I cover entire tent with light
  • Power Bar / Timer
  • Additional 7 day Timer
  • 3x3 flood tray (arriving by Friday)

Also my plants are taking off again since toping them a second time and adding in my 3rd array of lights!

• 
  
  
  • I have found my mother plant
  • Straggles the fall behind has ton of new growth and doing amazing
  • TwinPeaks has jumped over night with two amazing tops on each side stretching out
  • Others are doing amazing with nice new growth!!

I am either going to be transplanting them into their 15 gallon totes tomorrow or Sunday as I am gone Friday evening into Saturday evening.
They could stay longer in their 2 gallons but I need to clear the room where the soil and totes are to make room for the veg tent.
Once I have the Veg tent set up I will be moving my mother plant in there alone to enjoy and grow!

Thank you all for following and have a great one!!!

Hello Friends,

It's been a busy weekend and I finally have time to do a quick update.
I've transplanted all my plants minus one which is the mother plant which I will be doing tonight.
The reason for the delay for this plant is due to this weekend being swamped and not being able to finish setting up my 3x3 tent. (Tonight will be the final tent set up + mother transplant + Scrogco screens put on my others in 5x5 tent)

Now back to what's been done for this current update.
I've been able to get 5of6 of them transplanted. I was originally going to be doing 4 plants only in my 5x5 but I will only need one mother so I put #5 in the middle, raised up in a 10 gallon pot :) The more the merrier :)

I transplanted them on Friday morning and set up my 3x3 tent only. Today fixed up the filter, fan and ducts + 1 T5 figure and 1 more to go tonight :)

Here are some pictures.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and thank you for following along.

I will update once the mother and other text are good to go - girls are up in 30 minutes
:)

They are looking really nice bro! About to take off! Are you doing any LST or just topping? How many times do you plan on topping? Keep it up! Positive vibes

Putting them in tomorrow.

Hello Folks,

Alright so here is a point form update of what’s been done:

• Set up my 3x3 Veg Tent which includes:
  • small clip fans X 2 (one on top of light and other blowing on mother plant)
  • Clone King 36 site machine
  • 4” intake fan with Carbon Filter (Fan sits on top of tent to free up room)
  • 3x3 Flood Tray
  • 2 x2 foot 4 bulb T5 light systems
• Set up a 18” Fan attached to the ceiling of my 5x5 tent for air circulation and strengthening plants
• Transplanted the mom into her 20 gallon smart pot and moved under T5’s in 3x3 tent
• installed 4x Scrogco Screens and trained plants in Flower Tent
• Since I have extra plant I tied it down to the itself to replicate the screen formation
• Lollipopped all my plants (first time)
  • took clones for my first time and had 4 good looking ones that are now in my Clone King 36
• Watered Plants with Barley SST a few days ago and watered again regular water last night
• Have some soil cooking left over that I need to water

That is everything up to date.

Tomorrow is going to mark Week 7 since they broke through the soil and I am going to flip the switch and add the other 6 Cobs to the equation 3,000K lights and get this party started into Flower Power!

Flower time is 9 weeks on average and I am planning for 10 weeks in case.

This will leave me 4.5 weeks to Harvest, Dry, Trim, Cure so I can bring it with me on my trip to BC and Alberta!!!!!!

I will leave my mother Veg until I get back (have a friend water her 2-3 times a week while away) then I will be taking clones off of her for a SOG - 15 plant grow for faster harvest and to start a new strain :)

I’ve added some pictures of my clones, plants in screens and tied down and my mother plant under the T5.

One thing to note if ordering a 3x3 flood tray for a 3x3 tent it’s actually 41 inches when you equate for the lip and edge of it…. fun times… I had to cut this hard plastic off and then sand down the edges and now it’s in there! :)

If you have any questions or want any other pictures please let me know.

Have a great day everyone!
